[Cialug] Hard Drive Problems?

[Josh More]

It looks to me like you have an error on /dev/sda (or the SCSI card).

You should backup your data ASAP and run the smart tests:

You should also be prepared to buy another disk or two.

root keeps getting mail that says:

--------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------

Should I worry?  It's a slightly old IDE drive.  Or is this something
that happens all the time?  I'm new to Fedora, and I haven't been
privy to these helpful root mailings before.  So I don't know if this
has been happening for years now and I just didn't know about.

Would you worry?
